We have about a 1/2 dozen houses we're going to look at today, so please be praying! Our camper maintenance guy came out for the last time on Tuesday and fixed all our lights. The only other thing we need now is new tires - and we're not exactly in a big rush to shell out that kind of money! We had put the proceeds from the sale of our old house last year in a 1 year CD and it matured on Tuesday. We have 1 week to get it out before it rolls over into another 1 year CD (which we would have to pay penalties to get it out!) and I kept forgetting to do that this week! So Monday is the day! I have alarms on my phone set and time set aside so I won't forget! We found out who our new NACA mortgage counselor is, and he's one of the senior guys who has been there for awhile. He immediately told me something I never knew - namely we need to make consistent appointments with our counselor, not to come in and see them, but so that it sets time aside for them to work on our file. I did not know that! So we have an appointment for this Monday for him to work on our file. The interest rate for NACA is now down to 3.675%! Wow! I ran into a former neighbor at the grocery store yesterday, and she said she's tired of all the maintenance of her house and yard and wants to move into a condo. :-) She asked me rhetorically if I was really sure I wanted to get back into that rat race again? It made me smile. "Yes and no," I thought. Mainly, I still want whatever the Lord wants, so it's nice not to be clammering and frantic which I imagine I could be at this point! Please continue to pray we hear His voice saying, "This is the way, walk in it"! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
